Coffee Varietal: Gesha
Gesha is a rare varietal first collected from the wild coffee forests of Ethiopia in the 1930s and later cataloged as plant number T2722 at CATIE, the Central American coffee research centre. In the 1960s, coffee growers in Panama planted Gesha for its natural resistance to common coffee plant diseases—even though its a delicate plant with lower yields, making it more challenging to farm. However, when cultivated at high elevations, Gesha shines in the cup. Often coveted for its delicate jasmine and bergamot florals, sweet peach-like notes, and a clean, tea-like clarity that lingers beautifully on the palate. Over decades, its elegance and complexity have made Gesha one of the most sought-after coffees in the world.
